He knew right then

As he watched

The tear fall from her eye

It was best to forget

And to just let

His feelings for her die

---

Silent Conversations

Not yet
but soon
she says,
as she makes her
way to the door

But when,
how soon
he asks
as he stares
at the floor

Not yet
but soon
she says,
as her head
is slowly bowed

But when,
how soon
he asks
will we
be allowed?
